this is sick

we need that ktt1 memphis thread back

can someone find it i can only find the bootleg version from 2019

I'm reading Juicy J's memoir rn

good?

The OG version of Slob On My Knob from 1993

Genuinely fantastic

Learning about the early Memphis underground is crazy

how is it so far?

K-9 track is so hard lol

i feel like whole three 6 crew is slept on heavy

from the start

they dont get enough credit in general

It's incredible, bro has lived an insane life and learning about the early-mid 90s Memphis scene is so cool. He even talked about like a really old track of his that he remembers that to my knowledge hasn't even surfaced online

I feel like ironically enough younger rap fans are bigger fans of them than their own contemporaries. They were so ahead of their time it's kind of surreal

true + dj screw
lord infamous <3
koopsta knicca

more hardcore than most east or west coast rap

1992 junt right here

way more lol, early Wu and Mobb Deep the only ones that can compare. Underground Vol. 1 is my favorite album of all time

amazon copy so delayed i might buy the kindle version
interested if it addresses any of the juicy x paul f***ing over every single member accusations, so many arguments over the last two decades

if my memory serves me well - dj paul scratch coming from tapes because they didnt have money for turntables?

Yeah and it's way more complex than just Paul and Juicy screwing with people. The only person who really got done dirty by them was Playa Fly and that was Paul's doing apparently. They didn't have the capital to sign artists properly so they gave them distro deals instead which gave them publishing rights but didn't entitle them to money until Paul and Juicy recouped on their investment in the project (producing it, promoting/distributing/pressing it, studio time, engineering, etc)

A lot of the people they signed just didn't really take it seriously enough. The ones who did like La'Chat, Project Pat, and Lil Wyte are still doing well

i think the simple d*** addict/taking advantage of d*** addicts angle ran and then slowly destroyed the group, which will never really be adressed rest in peace to all of them

as much as the early fly s*** is important i feel like gangsta boo and koopsta stuff on trash youtube channels from vladtv to smalleyez were also warning about juice n paul's business practices

Juicy had turntables but Paul initially didn't but ended up getting some nice ones, so a lot of his early scratches are cassette scratching which you can tell by the way the scratches sound
